Day Three (2025-present)

A high-contrast black and white photograph shows a packed, lively scene inside a punk rock club or dive bar. Young adults with diverse styles fill the frame, many dancing with arms raised, some embracing or laughing.

From a dark vantage point, possibly a staircase or ramp, railings frame a nighttime scene of a university or urban campus. In the midground, a brightly lit ice rink occupies a central plaza, surrounded by small, bare trees and warm ground-level pathway lights.

Over Blue and White You Laid

A striking movie poster for 'Odysseus & Athena,' an animated short film by Aris Aoide. The title, rendered in sleek white outlined capitals with decorative lines, is placed on a deep to light purple gradient background with a subtle, organic swirl pattern. The lower two-thirds of the poster are filled with a vibrant, abstract composition of numerous translucent, sharp-edged forms resembling crystals or shattered glass, glowing in shades of bright pink, lavender, and white. These forms are densely packed and extend upwards, creating an energetic and ethereal visual.

Fragments of Perception

A black and white photographic grid, 5 images wide by 7 images tall, featuring 35 distinct compositions centered on a black-rimmed analog quartz wall clock. Each cell presents the clock in a unique state: some are sharply lit, others cast in deep shadow or partially obscured by darkness; some are intentionally blurred or distorted; others interact with physical elements such as a crumpled plastic bag, flowing water, or draped fabric. A cracked clock face is visible in some frames. The minimalist white backgrounds or contrasting black panels emphasize the varied conditions and conceptual exploration of time and perception.
